Unspecified source/license for File:Dr Sun Yat-sen Historical Trail Handrails.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Dr Sun Yat-sen Historical Trail Handrails.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello MowerBreeze, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to 999-year leases in Hong Kong have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:58, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Kelvin Kong Hok-lai

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Kelvin Kong Hok-lai requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Steve Li Kwai-Wah moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Steve Li Kwai-Wah, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Steve Li Kwai-Wah (July 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robertsky was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

WP:NOTNEWS Collection of news. To qualify as a BLP, write a biography, not a summary of news.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Steve Li Kwai-Wah and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion.

August 2021

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. CMD (talk) 14:40, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Following up the above warning, please see Talk:Chen_Linong#Edit_warring. Please use the next seven days to discuss the matter. Daniel (talk) 00:21, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Cai Dafeng

Hello, MowerBreeze. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Cai Dafeng, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 19:02, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Cai Dafeng

Hello, MowerBreeze. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Cai Dafeng".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:48, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

December 2021

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Pollyanna Chu does not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Missvain (talk) 16:56, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I did leave an edit summary, it clearly states "Career: 2021 LegCo" . MowerBreeze (talk) 02:57, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Steve Li Kwai-Wah

Hello, MowerBreeze. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Steve Li Kwai-Wah, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Kowloon Reservoir

I just followed Citobun's lead in City University, Sham Shui Po and Kowloon City Plaza. Trace of imperialism should all be annihilated from our province. 210.6.10.94 (talk) 12:08, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lots still exist in Hong Kong, and will continue to exist for another 900+ years. So deleting the lot numbers off of Wikipedia won't get rid of them in real life. You can do any land registry search and see for yourself. Tagging User:Citobun as well MowerBreeze (talk) 13:13, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell, these are all the same person: 210.6.10.69 , 210.6.10.94 , 210.6.10.116 , 210.6.10.76 MowerBreeze (talk) 13:21, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This series of IPs is WP:HKGW. They are taking the opposite stance that they did previously in order to, I dunno, drum up support for their original stance. You can tell by the fact that they are fixating on the same pages and also targeting me personally. Best approach is to revert and ignore the troll. Citobun (talk) 13:25, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick response. Also saw that you did a lot of work to replace citations I made with DimSumDaily- I've stopped using that source after I saw your edits. MowerBreeze (talk) 13:36, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks MowerBreeze. Didn't want to step on your toes there as you are doing a great job keeping HK articles abreast of current events. But I found a lot of content from that source is copied from elsewhere. Best regards, Citobun (talk) 13:55, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Special Barnstar

Hi MowerBreeze,

Thank you for your recent comments on my edit on the article "InvestHK". I am new to Wikipedia and especially appreciate suggestions on personal improvement when editing. Looking forward to working with you on further articles in the future.

Carter00000 (talk) 16:52, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you are new to Wikipedia, why do you have so many deletions and claim WP: MINORASPECT ? For example, instead of deleting referenced content that was significant enough to be in the news, perhaps try adding content. MowerBreeze (talk) 04:15, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of the Republic of China

The other flags located in the historical flags section of the page Flag of the Republic of China are not relevant to the actual flag of the Republic of China and for that reason I feel it is appropriate to remove them as they do not contribute to a reader's actual understanding of the flag (for example, what does the Manchukuo flag have to do with ROC? There is already the pages List of Chinese flags and List of Taiwanese flags for these flags). Unless you can provide a reason for keeping these flags in the page, they should not be added back. 129.97.125.3 (talk) 20:36, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you remove the text "as a symbol of resistance" from the picture of the flag in HK along with your edit? It's clearly sourced in the article and you should re-add it. MowerBreeze (talk) 20:41, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, you are right, that is mentioned in the source article. I will re-add it. 129.97.125.3 (talk) 20:43, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
